Illegal immigrants should not earn citizenship

Amnesty is unfair; deny opportunities for illegals

I vehemently oppose amnesty. It bumps the illegal aliens ahead of legal immigrants which is unfair. Some say it is impossible to deport millions of illegal aliens. WRONG! Of course we can do it, if we have the political will and we provide the resources
to enforce existing laws on the books that have been shamelessly flaunted by violators and ignored by weak elected officials. I will provide whatever it takes--money, more DHS personnel--to identify and deport illegal aliens.

Denial of economic
opportunities is a proven strategy for controlling this costly problem by facilitating self deportation. I would work to pass federal legislation that would preclude illegal aliens from collecting benefits that should be reserved for
American citizens.

The bottom line is that I will provide LEADERSHIP in the US Senate on this issue, You have my solemn commitment on that! LEGAL IMMIGRATION BUILT AMERICA AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO TEAR HER DOWN

Tighten immigration laws; enhance border patrol

Senator Smith is concerned that illegal immigration is costing taxpayers millions of dollars while closing the door to legal immigrants. He is doing his part to tighten up immigration laws through his leadership on legislation such as the Anti-Terrorism
Act of 1995, which would deport terrorist aliens, and the Immigration Control Act, which enhances border patrol and fights smuggling.
